Abstract: A speech coding apparatus and method for use in a speech recognition apparatus and method. The value of at least one feature of an utterance is measured during each of a series of successive time intervals to produce a series of feature vector signals representing the feature values. A plurality of prototype vector signals, each having at least one parameter value and a unique identification value are stored. The closeness of the feature vector signal is compared to the parameter values of the prototype vector signals to obtain prototype match scores for the feature value signal and each prototype vector signal. The identification value of the prototype vector signal having the best prototype match score is output as a coded representation signal of the feature vector signal. Speaker-dependent prototype vector signals are generated from both synthesized training vector signals and measured training vector signals. The synthesized training vector signals are transformed reference feature vector signals representing the values of features of one or more utterances of one or more speakers in a reference set of speakers. The measured training feature vector signals represent the values of features of one or more utterances of a new speaker/user not in the reference set.

Abstract: For interference- and manipulation-proof acquisition of information from identification carriers (13) which is read out via high-frequency magnetic fields, at least one antenna carrier (12) having adjacently arranged axially flat antenna coils (11) is provided, which coils are functionally combined to form groups (g, u) in such a manner that no immediately adjacent antenna coils (11) occur in the same group (g, u). Between the individual groups (g, u) having spatially spaced-apart antenna coils (11), a multiplex switch-over occurs for transferring the information from any identification carriers (13) which may have been registered to an evaluating memory (22). To avoid crosscoupling, the antenna coils (11) are short circuited with the exception of those of the group (g, u) currently being interrogated. All antenna coils (11), even those of a number of adjacently operated antenna carriers (12), are driven phase-locked at the same high frequency and all groups (g, u) of the same geometric allocation criteria are switched over phase-locked at the same multiplex frequency in order to avoid electrical beats and magnetic field distortions. The information transferred to the evaluating memory (22) and read out from identification carriers (13) currently being registered is logically combined with a radio-based real-time information (24) and possibly additionally with a random background pattern from a code generator (21) in order to be able to recognise unambiguously any subsequent attempts at manipulation of the information stored for editing.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting bacteria in samples using time-resolved light scattering and absorption measurement are disclosed. The present invention provides a system wherein a plurality of samples may be tested by providing a modulated excitation signal which is introduced into each sample and collected at a point disposed across each sample. The amplitude and phase of the collected signal are then processed to determine the time characteristics, modulation and phase of the signal after it has passed through the sample. By comparing this time characteristics, modulation and phase with the time characteristics, modulation and phase collected at a previous point in time or alternatively from a sample known to be free of bacteria, the presence of bacteria may be determined, since it has now been found that the presence of bacteria causes a significant change in the time characteristics, modulation and phase. Preferably, diode lasers are used to introduce modulated electromagnetic radiation to the samples and a multichannel plate photomultiplier tube is used to provide a signal from which the phase and amplitude can be determined. Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present invention the modulated electromagnetic radiation may be introduced using an optical switch and the multichannel plate photomultiplier tube may be replaced by avalanche photodiodes disposed against each sample that also create a signal containing time-averaged intensity, amplitude, and phase information. An improved optical switch is also disclosed.

Abstract: A coin box storage structure includes a coin box, a safe chamber, a shutter plate, a lock lever, a tumbler mechanism, and a dampening member. The shutter plate is swingably disposed in a lid, has a projection, and opens a coin storage port against a biasing force when the coin box is stored in the safe chamber. The lock lever has a ratchet portion engaged with the projection of the shutter plate to keep closing the coin storage port when the coin box is removed from the safe chamber. The lock lever is pressed and pivoted by the shutter plate when the coin box is stored in the safe chamber. When the lock lever is pivoted by a predetermined angle or less during opening of the lid, the tumbler mechanism reverses the lock lever to disengage the ratchet portion from the projection of the shutter plate to set the shutter plate in a preset state. When the lock lever is pivoted by the predetermined angle or more during storage of the coin box into the safe chamber, this mechanism reverses the lock lever to set the ratchet portion and the projection of the shutter plate in an engagement standby state. The dampening member inhibits to apply a pivot force to the lock lever in an initial period of pivotal movement of the lid and pivots the lock lever in pivotal movement of the lid by an angle exceeding the predetermined angle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for speech recognition, the speech to be recognized including one or more words. Recognition is based on an analysis of a first and a second utterance. In accordance with the invention, the first utterance is compared to one or more models of speech to determine a similarity metric for each such comparison. The model of speech which most closely matches the first utterance is determined based on the one or more similarity metrics. The similarity metric corresponding to the most closely matching model of speech is analyzed to determine whether the similarity metric satisfies a first recognition criterion. The second utterance is compared to one or more models of speech associated with the most closely matching model (which may include the most closely matching model) to determine a second utterance similarity metric for each such comparison. The one or more second utterance similarity metrics are analyzed to determine whether the one or more metrics satisfies a second recognition criteria. The second utterance is recognized has the phrase corresponding to the most closely matching model of speech when the first and second recognition criteria are satisfied. The present invention has application to many problems in speech recognition including isolated word recognition and command spotting.
